[00:10.77] Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
[00:14.27] And welcome me back to town
[00:17.74] Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
[00:21.14] And tell you how it all went down
[00:24.65] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
[00:31.43] And a good saloon in every single town
[00:36.51]
[00:38.77] And I remember something you once told me
[00:45.63] And I'll be damned if it did not come true
[00:52.57] Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
[00:59.60] And they all lead me straight back home to you
[01:05.57]
[01:06.06] 'Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
[01:13.03] Across those prairies with those waves of grain
[01:19.48] And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
[01:27.14] And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
[01:33.29]
[01:35.58] We flew straight across that river bridge, last night half past two
[01:42.89] The switch-man wave his lantern goodbye and good luck as we went rolling through
[01:49.87] Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel
[01:56.91] And now I know just what I have to do
[02:02.89]
[02:03.98] And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
[02:10.85] He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown
[02:17.35] And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue see
[02:24.48] And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
[02:30.56]
[02:59.73] The news I could bring I met up with the king
[03:04.70] On his head an amphetamine crown
[03:08.03] He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
[03:11.63] And lighted out for some desert town
[03:16.86] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
[03:23.72] And a good saloon in every single town
[03:29.01]
[03:30.35] And I remember something you once told me
[03:37.35] And I'll be damned if it did not come true
[03:44.77] Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
[03:51.84] And they all lead me straight back home to you
[03:58.83] Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
[04:07.45] And they all lead me straight back home to you
[04:13.91]
[04:15.32]
